She writes, "In reality, the offshore wave would break only at low tide, but the wave fills the inlet only at high tide." In his Winslow Homer in the 1890s: Prout's Neck Observed, Homer expert Philip Beam noted the artist's rearranging of the horizontal ledges of rock into a triangular shape so that "it rivets attention on his main motive".

The raging sea merges with the stormy sky. The lightning strikes from behind heavy clouds. The waves splash against the high coast and flow down the rocks. The atmosphere of the storm and wrath of the sea is depicted with such power that the spectator can almost hear the crashing waves and the rolling thunder.

With large waves, this crash can be felt by beachgoers on land. Offshore wind conditions can make plungers more likely.
Wave pounding is the 'sledge hammer' effect of tonnes of water crashing against cliffs. It shakes and weakens the rocks leaving them open to attack from hydraulic action and abrasion. Eroded material gets carried away by the wave. Wave pounding is particularly fierce in a storm, where the waves are exceptionally large, and have a lot of energy ...
